Patient Stories
Our amazing patients share their stories of the wonderful care they received at Sierra Medical Center.
Louis Benton
Louis had pain in his chest that wasn’t going away. He went to ER at McCarran NW where he was diagnosed with acute chest pain and acute coronary syndrome. He was transferred to Sierra Medical Center where Interventional Cardiologist Devang Desai, MD, FACC, FSCAI, placed a stent in his heart.
Virginia Yagerhofer
Virginia has lived with a heart murmur for quite some time. She was referred to Dr. Devang Desai at Sierra Medical Center for a TAVR procedure. Dr. Desai assessed Virginia’s condition and confirmed that she was a candidate for the procedure. She became only the tenth person to receive this procedure at Sierra Medical Center.
Jennifer Duvall
Jennifer was having breathing issues, and blood tests showed that she needed an emergency CT scan because of elevated numbers. She went to the ER at Spanish Springs for a CT scan and the team found a large blood clot in her leg. She was then transported to Sierra Medical Center for emergency surgery.
Michael Cohn
Cohn was pleased with meeting Dr. Desai and set up his own appointment, at which Dr. Desai ordered bloodwork and a stress EKG for Cohn. “The PA said I was doing great, and I even got to the max elevation. But after she showed the EKG to a cardiologist, they told me I needed to go to the ER,” he says. “They gave me a second chance at life!”
Stephanie Kester
Stephanie already had one child, but she went into delivery of her second unsure what to expect since it was her first time delivering at Sierra Medical Center. She and her partner genuinely appreciated the education they received during their labor and delivery experience, as well as throughout their stay.
Taylor Johannesen
Taylor suffers from a chronic condition that requires specialized care. Because of her great patient experience at Sierra Medical Center, she feels comfortable knowing that she can get the care she needs, when she needs it.
David Archer
David had severe congenital dysplasia on both of his hips. That, and degenerative osteoarthritis, were causing pain. He had hip replacement surgery at Sierra Medical Center and now walks without pain.
Elliott Josi
Elliott Josi’s Father’s Day in 2023 was made memorable by more than just the messages of love and gratitude from his kids. After experiencing bursting pain, he learned of a herniated disc in his spine.
Serenity Cortez
Being a first-time mom can mean you have a lot of questions about what to expect when you deliver. Luckily, Serenity Cortez was as prepared as she could be prior to delivering her first born at Sierra Medical Center.
Brett Kuhnsman
Brett visited the Sierra Medical Center emergency department for treatment of a blood clot. The care he received exceeded his expectations.
Sydney
Mom Sydney and baby Ellie were recent patients at Sierra Medical Center and only had great things to say about The Family Birth Center. “The nursing staff I had were very encouraging and helpful through the entire labor and delivery process,” said Sydney. “They listened and took into consideration my feelings and that’s something I will forever be grateful for. I have never met such kind and wonderful staff.”
Thank you to all who allow us to be part of their birthing journey!
